More quotes by William Golding
A star appeared...and was momentarily eclipsed by some movement.
William Golding
I suppose I'd have to say that my favourite author is Homer. After Homer's Ilaid, I'd name The Odyssey, and then I'd mention a number of plays of Euripides.
William Golding
His mind was crowded with memories memories of the knowledge that had come to them when they closed in on the struggling pig, knowledge that they had outwitted a living thing, imposed their will upon it, taken away its life like a long satisfying drink.
William Golding
I'm not a critic so much of my own writing. People must make up their own minds over that.
William Golding
Only one novel is a novel: that is a successful novel.
William Golding
Beethoven for listening Liszt, Chopin, and Beethoven for playing as well as Bach and Prokofiev and so on. If I kept going, this list would spiral. It's as wide as literature in fact, it is probably wider.

William Golding
My father was very musical, and music plays quite a large part in my life.
William Golding
I am astonished at the ease with which uninformed persons come to a settled, a passionate opinion when they have no grounds for judgment.
William Golding
Kill the pig! Cut his throat! Kill the pig! Bash him in!
William Golding
The greatest ideas are the simplest.
William Golding
I mean, if we're concerned genuinely with writing, I think we probably get on with our work. I think this is very true of English writers, but perhaps not so true of French writers, who seem to read each other passionately, extensively, and endlessly, and who then talk about it to each other - which is splendid.
William Golding
The water rose further and dressed Simon's coarse hair with brightness. The line of his cheek silvered and the turn of his shoulder became sculptured marble.
William Golding
the conch exploded into a thousand white fragments and ceased to exist.
